Recently processed some new panoramic shots and noticed this grid pattern after using denoise in PhotoAI. (See sample images below)
Having looked through other support issues, I note that this is not a new issue and seems to still be present for some users in the latest versions as well.
The camera is a Nikon D500 in this case, so is a supported camera file format.
Steps to reproduce issue:
- Used Lightroom to stich 8 photos (NEF) to a single panoramic shot (DNG) - See image 1.
- Open in PhotoAI (directly from Lightroom) and applied Denoise (using suggested settings). Even at this stage using the split screen, the artifacts are clearly visible - See image 2
- Save the image back to Lightroom (saves as TIFF). The resultant image (as exported from PhotoAI) has the grid artifacts as shown in the image - See image 3
My renewal was due in August, but there is no point in renewing if this is still an issue. With this result, PhotoAI is not useful for many of my shots!
I have currently reverted back to using Topaz Denoise (like others have done) as this still gives very good results.
Some help on this matter would be very appreciated. Thanks
